Homecoming

Dad J. went home to be with Jesus tonight. What a blessed time it was! As his breathing changed, my husband and his sisters surrounded Dad’s bed and read him his favorite scriptures. We then called Mom in and we all held hands and prayed. As we released Dad into Jesus’ arms with our words, he slipped away. His ultimate hearts desire is now fulfilled. He is in the presence of his Saviour – the one who loved him unconditionally, died for his sin, and extended grace, forgiveness, and now eternal life with him in heaven. What a sad yet treasured night this will always be.

Thank you for all you gave us – we love you, Dad!

I'm so sorry... But what a sweet joy knowing he's with Jesus. Praying the weeks to come are filled with His peace. :)
